The Need for Multi Lingual Support in LIMS

Healthcare knows no boundaries and neither does healthcare based information technology. The laboratory information management system (LIMS) is completely transforming the way the pathological labs are being setup and functioning.

multilingual-limsConsider an example of a patient who speaks only Arabic and goes to a doctor for his treatment who only speaks English. Will the patient be able to explain to the doctor his problem? Or, would the doctor be able to explain to the patient the treatment available? The obvious answer is No!Why? Because the two most important persons in this activity are not talking to each other. The case is similar with a Laboratory Information Management System. A system as powerful as LIMS which functions only in English will be useless in the hands of an operator who knows only Spanish and no English.

The LIMS is one of the biggest change to hit the healthcare and pathological lab market in the last few decades. Modern laboratory information management systems are filled with features that make managing a laboratory as easy as a click of a computer key. Features such as-

  • Elimination of human error by automation of processes
  • Real time tracking of samples
  • Quicker turnaround time for reports
  • Consumption based inventory alert for reagents and consumables
  • Scalability
  • Seamless integration

-would hold no value if the owner of the lab or the employees managing the lab do not understand the language in which the LIMS works.

Healthcare as a domain does not segregate on the basis of language and neither should the healthcare software. To solve this problem of language and geography, CareData Inc. a leading organization in the healthcare IT domain developed their laboratory information management system – Care LabTrak.
